Sonam is fast emerging as the face of the romantic-comedy genre !

Sonam Kapoor starrer Dolly Ki Doli released nationwide yesterday and opened to an encouraging response at the box office.

Having walked away with encouraging reviews as India’s first official Disney-Girl ,Sonam Kapoor impresses yet again in Dolly Ki Doli which hit theatre screens yesterday.

Sonam is fast emerging the face of the romantic-comedy genre in the country – With Aisha ,the actress sparked off the trend , which was then cemented with Khoobsurat , the country’s first official Disney romance and with Dolly Ki Doli, Sonam Kapoor wowed everyone yet again as the Ultimate Runaway Bride!

Says Subhash K Jha, “Dolly’s a delightfully wicked creation,full of vivacious greed and not embarrassed by her appetite for La Dolce Vita. Debutant director Abhishek Dogra has carved a quirky comedy with spot-on satirical situations that allow Sonam to sparkle”.

Says Madhureeta Mukherjee, “Sonam plays the badass bahu with aplomb. From coy, to confident – she pulls it off with spunk”.

Says Bollywood Hungama, “The growth displayed by Sonam Kapoor as an actor in DOLLY KI DOLI is excellent. She oozes varied shades of an Indian woman and her stylist ensures that she gets to showcase this Khoobsurat actress in a buffet of traditional finery and modern chutzpah. There’s a steeliness in her performance that filters out in a subtle manner.”
